Summer Surpise Dessert

It has been so hot outside lately that we decided to have an indoor day and cook. My kids were given the task of figuring out what they wanted to eat for dinner and dessert. When all was said and done they headed off to the store with their Nana and Tia to pick up the supplies. As always we let them cook/make the food. How fun. And it is really rewarding for the kids to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Here is what dessert my kids came up with.

Summer Surprise Dessert

Use a clear plastic cup to for layering the dessert

Use a moist chocolate cake (crumbled) for the first layer

Mix pudding and whipped cream (we made our own) to create a mousse

Layer mousse on top of cake

Follow by a layer of strawberries and bananas

Next smooth out a layer of whipped cream

Finally, decorate the top of the dessert with strawberries and bananas (my kids made flowers)

Top with homemade or store bought carmel sauce

They came up with dessert on their own and had a great time making it. We also let them help out with making the dinner (of course) which made it a wonderful meal for everyone. It was the perfect indoor activity to keep them busy for hours and teach them about cooking, baking and how certain flavors blend well together. I really hope you try this at home.

I am a homemaker, mother of four, and homeschooler. I strive to make learning fun for my children. They are my everything and I enjoy watching them grow, not only physically, but also spiritually. I do the best that I can. I am not perfect and know I never will be, but I am good with that. I try to set a good example for children and teach them that loving others no matter what is going to make them a better a person in the end. I encourage them to study and grow, not only in the academics, but also in understanding, compassion and the Word.
